Of poets and their words

I'm in the best of my moods as I listen to Jalsa songs and play video games. I feel good today, really good about living. And in one of those moments, who do I turn to, the poets ofcourse. I listen to Ghal Ghal, You and I, Jeevithmante Poratam and I thank God for making those men who in a few lines teach me how to live. There's something about poetry and its utterly ridiculous simplicity. This is where, so many times, I've seen rare genius break out. The ability of a few men to express anger, hatred, love and life in those words you've known all your life. Where does it come from? That insight, that, I don't know how to put this, that ability to add meaning to life, to leash it within a few legible symbols. There's nothing like it. And it is in times like these that I strongly believe in divine intervention in the lifes of all the God's men. Sirivennela, Veturi, Dylan and Lennon, you're giving me dreams to live for.

Geet mein dhalte lafzon mein

One helluva movie. One amazing song. I'm writing my feeling about Udaan in PFC, will post it soon. Love this song. Hats off Amitabh. I mean, a line like,
lamha ye manga nahi, ise humne cheena hai;
yoon hi jeena.


--

Geet mein dhalte lafzon mein,
taal pe chalti nabzon mein
naya, kuchh naya, zaroor hai
shaam se leke sehron mein,
dhoop chhadi duphero mein
naya, kuchh naya, zaroor hai
kya baat hai, jo baat hai, taaza lage
zindagi ki nayi nayi faza lagey
haan yeh umango se, poora hua seena hai
seena hai seena hai seena hai
lamha yeh maanga nahi, ise humne cheena hai
cheena hai cheena hai yoon hi jeena hai

dhool jami thi aankhon mein,
khwaab khile ab lakhon mein
naya, kuchh naya, zaroor hai
dard ki baatien kal ki hain,
aaj mein khushiyan chalki hain
naya, kuchh naya, zaroor hai
jaibon mein hum, raatein liye, ghuma kare
fursat ke yeh, mauke sabhi, jhooma kare
haan yeh umango se, poora hua seena hai
seena hai seena hai seena hai
lamha yeh maanga nahi, ise humne cheena hai
cheena hai cheena hai yoon hi jeena hai

andheri mein hai, nayi garmiyaan…
junoon sakht hai, gayi narmiyan…
hai dilchasp yeh, aag si
aag si…
mitenge nahi, yaad se
yaad se…

geet mein dhalte lafzon mein,
taal pe chalti nabzon mein
naya, kuchh naya, zaroor hai
shaam se leke sehron mein,
dhoop chhadi duphero mein
naya, kuchh naya, zaroor hai
kya baat hai, jo baat hai, taaza lage
zindagi ki nayi nayi faza lagey
haan yeh umango se, poora hua seena hai
seena hai seena hai seena hai
lamha yeh maanga nahi, ise humne cheena hai
cheena hai cheena hai yoon hi jeena hai

All along the watchtower

Bob Dylan is a poet. And I've been into Dylan for about a week now. Can it get any better than this? I'm about to write a long piece on his influence on me but till then, some of the finest lyrics I've encountered.

--

"There must be some way out of here," said the joker to the thief,
"There's too much confusion, I can't get no relief.
Businessmen, they drink my wine, plowmen dig my earth,
None of them along the line know what any of it is worth."

"No reason to get excited," the thief, he kindly spoke,
"There are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke.
But you and I, we've been through that, and this is not our fate,
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late."

All along the watchtower, princes kept the view
While all the women came and went, barefoot servants, too.

Outside in the distance a wildcat did growl,
Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl.

Anyone else but you- Juno

Beautiful way to end a beautiful movie. Loved the movie and love the song much more. A perfect song for two love-lost teenagers, ask me ;).
Here is the video.
--

Your part time lover and a full time friend,
The monkey on the back is the latest trend,
Don't see what anyone can see,
In anyone else,
But you

Here is a church and here is a steeple,
We sure are cute for two ugly people,
Don't see what anyone can see,
In anyone else,
But you

We both have shiny happy fits of rage,
I want more fans, you want more stage,
Don't see what anyone can see,
In anyone else,
But you

I'm always tryin to keep it real,
Now I'm in love with how you feel,
I don't see what anyone can see,
In anyone else,
But you

I kiss you on the brain in the shadow of the train,
I kiss you all starry eyed,
My body swings from side to side,
I don't see what anyone can see,
In anyone else,
But you

The pebbles forgive me,
The trees forgive me,
So why can't,
You forgive me?
I don't see what anyone can see,
In anyone else,
But you

Du du du du du du dudu
Du du du du du du dudu
I don't see what anyone can see,
In anyone else,
But you.

Bulla ki Jaana- Rabbi

Why didn't it strike me earlier to put Bulla ki Jaana lyrics in my blog.I mean, I've been such a huge Rabbi Shergill buff since the first time I heard him. That, when I accidentally stumbled across Bulla.. ages ago. And I'm embarassed to admit that I accidentally came across it. That song deserves much much more respect than that. Anyways, from then on, whenever its Rabbi, I'm on. To know more about him, read this. And check out the video song too. Its amazing. As VS Naipaul puts it, "I didn't understand whatever he(Rabbi) sang. But his voice sure was soul stirring". All I can do is nod my head in awe.

Na maen momin vich maseet aan
Na maen vich kufar diyan reet aan
Na maen paakaan vich paleet aan
Na maen moosa na pharaun.

Bulleh! ki jaana maen kaun

Na maen andar ved kitaab aan,
Na vich bhangaan na sharaab aan
Na vich rindaan masat kharaab aan
Na vich jaagan na vich saun.

Bulleh! ki jaana maen kaun.

Na vich shaadi na ghamnaaki
Na maen vich paleeti paaki
Na maen aabi na maen khaki
Na maen aatish na maen paun

Bulleh!, ki jaana maen kaun

Na maen arabi na lahori
Na maen hindi shehar nagauri
Na hindu na turak peshawri
Na maen rehnda vich nadaun

Bulla, ki jaana maen kaun

Na maen bheth mazhab da paaya
Ne maen aadam havva jaaya
Na maen apna naam dharaaya
Na vich baitthan na vich bhaun

Bulleh , ki jaana maen kaun

Avval aakhir aap nu jaana
Na koi dooja hor pehchaana
Maethon hor na koi siyaana
Bulla! ooh khadda hai kaun

Bulla, ki jaana maen kaun

Amazing lyrics to add to his spell-binding voice.

Have a nice day- Bon Jovi

fell in love with this song from the first time i heard it...awesome lyrics, and an amazing song!
hats-off Bon Jovi...

---

Why, you wanna tell me how to live my life?
Who, are you to tell me if it's black or white?
Mama, can you help me try to understand.
Is innocence the difference between a boy and a man.
My daddy lived a lie, that's just the price that he paid.
Sacrificed his life, just slaving away.

Oh, if there is one thing I hang on to,
That gets me through the night.
I ain't gonna do what I don't want to,
I'm gonna live my life.
Shining like a diamond, rolling with the dice,
Standing on the ledge, I'll show the wind how to fly.
When the world gets in my FACE,
I say, Have A Nice Day.
Have A Nice Day-ay-ay

Take a look around you, nothing´s what it seems
We're living in a broken home of hopes and dreams,
Let me be the first to shake a helping hand.
Anybody, brave enough to take a stand,
I've knocked on every door, on every dead-end street,
Looking for forgiveness and what's left to believe

Oh, if there is one thing I hang on to,
That gets me through the night.
I ain't gonna do what I don't want to,
I'm gonna live my life.
Shining like a diamond, rolling with the dice,
Standing on the ledge, I'll show the wind how to fly.
When the world gets in my face,
I say, Have A Nice Day
Have A Nice Day-ay-ay.

(Guitar Solo)

Oh oh , if there is one thing I hang onto,
That gets me through the night.
I ain't gonna do what I don't want to,
I'm gonna live my life.
Shining like a diamond, rolling with the dice,
Standing on the ledge, I'll show the wind how to fly.
When the world gets in my face,
I say, Have A Nice Day.
Have A Nice Day-ay-ay.
(in the background)
(Have A Nice Day)


When The world keeps trying to drag me down,
Gotta raise my hands, gonna stand my ground.
I say, hey, Have A Nice Day-ay-ay.
Have A Nice Day!

Imagine- John Lennon

i love the line in this song, 'You may say that I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one'...beautiful, ain't it? and btw, this was Steve Jobs' one time fav song... :D...now you know how I came across it...
---


Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

Entha varaku, endu koraku - Gamyam

Amazing lyrics from Sirivenella SitaRama Sastry...Its so deep and philosophical and yet so simple and true...Hats-Off...

Been in love with this song from the moment I first heard it and at last decided to put up the lyrics...Great composition from the music directors...And, beautifully picturised too...

Entha varaku, yendu koraku
Intha parugu, ani adakku
Gamanamey nee gaymyamaithey,
Baataloney brathuku doruku
Prashnaloney badulu undey, gurthupattey gundenadugu...

Prapancham neelo unnadani cheppey daaka aa nijam telusu kova,
Telistey prathee chota ninnu nuvve kalusukoni palakarinchukova...

Entha varaku, yendu koraku
Intha parugu, ani adakku
Gamanamey nee gaymyamaithey,
Baataloney brathuku doruku
Prashnaloney badulu undey, gurthupattey gundenadugu...

Kanapadey kanninti keratalu,
Kalagalipi samudramantaru,
Adagarey okkokka ala peru?

Manakila yedurayye prathivaru,
Manishaney sandraala keratalu,
Palakarey manishi antey evaru?

Sarigga choostunnada, nee madi,
Madilo nuvve kada unnadi,
Chottu addalatho vidi vidi,
Roopalu nuvvu kadantunnadi.

Nee oopirilo, leda gaali veluthuru,
Nee choopulalo, leda?
Nannu, ninnu meeru ani kalipithey,
Nuvve kaada, kaada?

Prapancham neelo unnadani cheppey daaka aa nijam telusu kova,
Telistey prathee chota ninnu nuvve kalusukoni palakarinchukova...

Manasulo neevaina bhaavaley,
Bayata kanipistai drushyaley,
Needalu nijala sakhshyaley.

Shatruvulu neeloni lopaley,
Snehithulu neekunna ishtaley,
Ruthuvulu nee bhaava chitraley.

Yeduraina mandahaasam,
Neeloni chelimi kosam,
O santosham vesham,
Nee madini madiki paasham.

Puttaka chaavu, rendey rendu,
Neekavey sontham kaavu, poni,
Jeevithakaalam neeve nestam, rangulu,
eam vestavo kani.

Socha Hai- Rock On

Farhan Akhtar rocks...brillian lyrics...this film's gonna be a huge hit :D...rock-on farhan...
------

aasma hai neela kyun
paani geela geela kyun
gol kyun hai zamee
silk mein hai narmi kyun
aag mein hai garmi kyun
do aur do paanch kyun nahi

ped ho gaye kam kyun
teen hain ye mausam kyun
chaand do kyun nahi
duniya mein hai jung kyun
behta laal rang kyun
sarhaden hain kyun har kahin
socha hai... ye tumne kya kabhi
socha hai... ki hain ye kya sabhi
socha nahi to socho abhi

behti kyun hai har nadi
hoti kya hai roshni
barf girti hai kyun
dost kyun hain roothte
taare kyun hain toot-te
baadlon mein bijli hai kyun
socha hai... ye tumne kya kabhi
socha hai... ki hain ye kya sabhi
socha nahi to socho abhi

sannata sunai nahi deta
aur hawayen dikhayi nahi deti
socha hai kya kabhi
hota hai ye kyun............

aasma hai neela kyun
paani geela geela kyun
gol kyu hai zamee

Maula Mere Maula Mere- Anwar

its a beautiful song from the film anwar...kills me..
dedicated to someone whose eyes i adore... :D...understand?
------
Maula mere, maula mere maula mere, maula mere - 4
aankhein teri - 2, kitni haseen
key inka aashiq, mein ban gayaa hoon
mujhko basaa le, inme tu
(ishq hai maula mere, maula mere maula mere, maula mere - 2) - 3

ki inka aashiq, mein ban gayaa hoon
mujhko basaa le, inme tu

mujhse yeh har ghadi, meraa dil kahe
tum hi ho uski aarzoo
mujhse yeh har ghadi, mere lab kahe
teri hi ho sab guftagoo
baatein teri itni haseen, main yaad inko jab kartaa hoon
phoolon si aaye, khushboo

rakh loon chhupaa ke main kahin tujhko
saayaa bhi teraa naa main doon
rakh loon banaa ke kahin ghar, main tujhe
saath tere, main hi rahoon
zulfen teri, itni ghani
dekh ke inako, yeh sochtaa hoon
saaye me, inke main jiyoon
(ishq hai maula mere, maula mere maula mere, maula mere - 2) - 3

(meraa dil yahi bolaa, meraa dil yahi bolaa,
yaara raaj yeh usne hai mujh par kholaa
ki hai ishq mohabbat, jiske dil mein
usko pasand karta hai maulaa) - 3

Dil Pe Math lo Yaar, Hath Me Lon

lyrics of those special songs which i love...for those ppl who love 'em too...

Hyderabad Blues 2


hitech-vitech baigan ko bolo

charminar ki biryani khaalo

koi kare agar G mein dhum

dil pe math lo haath mein lo

madina cafe mein baitke hilana..

waiter shouts "ek chai, theen empty laana"

houle phook phook ke langa jalare..

maakde thook thook ke pan chabare..

saw scene in the middle of koti

bunch of big goofs figthing for a potti..

next to me was a chicha in sherwani

muttering "maki kirikiri yeh kya pareshaani"

hitech-vitech baigan ko bolo

charminar ki biryani khaalo

koi kare agar G mein dhum

dil pe math lo haath mein lo

potti pata ke la tour karne nikla

rickshaw mein do auntiyon ko dekha..

light maaringe bolke katta maare tho..

thappa marke potti boli.."ya wa dekha tho butta milenga tereku"

in the auto maaki dimag karab lecture

took her to golconda to do some time pass

gate kane gurkha bola..

andar jaane ko 50 , foto kichna hai tho 150..

foreigner hai tho 250, guide hona tho 350

agar ladki ke saath lafda wafda karne ka hai tho..........

hyderabad mein aisich hai yaaron..

sabkuch ham full lite lethe yaaron..

hitech-vitech baigan ko bolo..

charminar ki biryani khaalo..

koi kare agar G mein dhum..

dil pe math lo, haath mein lo..;)
